Autumn Jarvis , LCSW, LICSW

Autumn Jarvis is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, mood concerns and relationship difficulties. She holds an MSW - a Master of Social Work - and a Bachelor of Science in Vocational Rehabilitation with concentrations in substance abuse, criminal justice and psychiatric rehabilitation. She is credentialed as an LCSW and an LICSW - designations that indicate advanced training and independent clinical practice in social work.

Her background includes roles in community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric hospital care, Veterans Affairs and a range of outpatient clinic settings. Drawing on this breadth of experience, she works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals and to build practical skills for coping with life changes, parenting challenges, addiction recovery, anger and self-esteem concerns, as well as more complex issues such as attachment, trauma and co-occurring conditions. Her approach emphasizes a nonjudgmental, open environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely and honestly.

Outside of her clinical work, Autumn enjoys time with her son and two dogs, coffee and reading, CrossFit and running, cheering for the Green Bay Packers, and good food - favorites include pizza, pickles, olives and cheese curds. Because this practice sits outside a full-time role, availability can be limited, and she aims to accommodate requests when possible.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Autumn integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and persistent avoidance patterns. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and other mood concerns.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the individual's perspective, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal setting. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Autumn works with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals and personal preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Autumn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other responsibilities, and they support access to licensed professionals from locations that suit the client.
